Regan gritted her teeth.She didn’t want to believe that Harvey actually had the Longmen Law Enforcement Badge.“You actually think this is fake?”Harvey smiled calmly as he flicked his teacup to the badge.The badge then slid right toward Regan with a dazzling glare.“I suggest you take a close look, young lady.”“Don’t misunderstand me.”Regan shot him a stern look and then glanced over. Her mind exploded the instant she saw a few hidden marks to authenticate the badge. She immediately knelt, slamming her knees to the ground.She couldn’t remain calm any longer. The badge was undoubtedly real!Even a dominant woman like Regan couldn’t help but shiver.She didn’t know who Harvey actually was, but the badge was enough to prove his powerful status; Harvey was not someone Regan could afford to go against.If she didn’t kneel, she wouldn’t be the only one in trouble—the entire Longmen Warband would be dragged down as well.“I’m sorry, Sir York. This is all just a misunderstand
Damian nodded repeatedly.“I misunderstood you, Sir York.”“We know how you treated Regan and the others.”“I was being narrow-minded!”“How could a man like you conspire with the enemy for such small benefits?”“On behalf of the Eight Inner and Outer Halls, I apologize to you. I hope that you’ll do your best tomorrow!”Harvey smiled.“You’re too kind.”“I have responsibility for the young talents as well. I didn’t take care of them as promised.”“It’s only natural for all of you to doubt me and stop me from joining the fight.”“After all, we all have to look at the bigger picture. It’s not just about personal gain.”“But since we’re in a peculiar situation right now, I’ll take the initiative once more.”“I hope you all will trust me this time.”“At the end of the day, we’re all people of Country H. There’s no need for us to fight among ourselves. Our enemies will laugh at us if they know about this!”“As long as nobody’s dragging me down, it’ll be easy for me to crush th
Rhea flashed them a deep look. “At this point, it doesn’t really matter if we win the fight or not.”“But if we’re branded traitors of the country after letting Harvey in the ring, we’ll be finished!”“You people should know better than me about what’ll happen after that!”Fisher and Damian’s faces darkened in an instant.Bryce, who had remained quiet the entire time, finally spoke up.“That’s right. It looks like we’re about to lose, but we still have hope!”“That said, Harvey asked to join the fight even when he’s such a huge suspect.”“To put it simply, I just don’t trust him!”“I’d rather the remaining two champions lose…”“...than to let him fight.”“I believe he won’t turn the tides; he’ll surely embarrass every single one of us too.”“I’d choose to let Longmen lose than for him to show up.”Harvey narrowed his eyes; he glared at the stubbornly righteous Bryce and Rhea.To protect their own reputation…To prevent outsiders from turning the tides of battle…To sup
“Other than him being extremely weak…”“There’s another reason we didn’t let him fight. He’s simply too suspicious!”“We cannot bear the risk of putting him on the front lines.”“If he makes a single mistake, every single one of us will be dragged down with him!”“You included, Princess Wright!” Rhea exclaimed bitterly.At the same time, there was a different meaning in her words; she was putting on a helpless look, as if nobody would take responsibility for the situation if anything were to go wrong.Sienna smiled and waved her hand, gesturing to her subordinates to close the door.She then glanced at Rhea.“Since we’re all smart people here, I’ll just make everything clear.”“I need to make sure of something first…”“You didn’t stop Harvey from fighting because of your family affairs, did you?”Bryce and Rhea froze immediately.They didn’t think Sienna would actually say something like this.The two took a deep breath before replying, “Of course not!”“Good.”Sienna sm
“The people?”Sienna glared coldly at Bryce after he refuted her words.“Does Harvey not count?”“He’s extremely loyal to the country. Even after being wronged for no reason, he still requested to join the fight!”“What else is there to worry about?”“Even if he loses, he’d only lose his place as the young master of Longmen. What are you so scared of?”“Just let him go first and put your hopes on the last two champions!”“Besides, I don’t think there’s a need for that. Harvey will definitely win!”Rhea’s face darkened.“Princess Wright. I would have agreed with you if you said this five days ago, or if the people weren’t causing an uproar…”“But at this point, Harvey has no choice but to win here!”“If he loses or turns his back against us…”“We’ll be done for!”“Well, I’m confident in his abilities!”Sienna flashed Rhea a decisive expression.“He’ll definitely win!”“Definitely?!”Rhea chuckled coldly.“Where did you get this confidence from?”“I was planning to kee
Seeing Rhea so infuriated, Harvey waved his hand to stop Sienna from saying anything.He glanced calmly at Rhea, though with a disdainful look.Seeing his expression, Rhea misunderstood and assumed that Harvey was scared.“Admit that you’re just useless filth already!” she exclaimed as she took a bold step forward.“It’s good to have some self-awareness.”“Fighting in the ring is a lot different than just showing off, you know!”“You can rely on your strong bodyguard and offend anyone you want…”“But you should know your place if you don’t have the strength to fight!”Harvey continued staring calmly at Rhea.“Let’s not talk about the Longmen Summit’s rules yet. Since I’m the provincial champion, I naturally have the right to fight in the ring.”“Since ancient times, victory and defeat have been extremely common.”“I’m only asking you one thing: what makes you so sure that I’ll lose against the Indians?”“Or are you just all bark and no bite?”Rhea raised her eyebrows after
Slap!“Even the vice master wouldn’t dare call me weak. Does an outsider like you think he’s dead or something?”Slap!“You can’t even gauge my strength properly, yet you still call yourself the representative of the northwest’s Martial Arts Alliance? You’re embarrassing your entire organization!”Slap!“You can’t even take a single hit from me! Shouldn’t you be kneeling right about now?!”Harvey’s expression was as cold as ice.He was ruthlessly insulting Rhea while slapping her around.Rhea’s face had become completely swollen; her head was spinning all over the place. She couldn’t even utter a single word.Slap!After the final slap, Rhea’s eyes were all bruised.“Remember, try to be more discreet next time.Have some self-awareness unless you want other people teaching you a lesson.”Harvey pulled out some tissue to wipe his fingers. Then, he smiled at Bryce.“Excuse me, Vice Master Kennedy. You wouldn’t mind if I teach a lesson on behalf of Longmen now, would you?”“Y
Four days had passed since the start of the tournament.The stage hadn't changed, the rules hadn’t changed, and the host was still the same person.The only difference was the morale between both sides of the ring.There were only a few people sitting in the west resting area before, but now, there were thousands.Those people came all the way from India to cheer their top talents on.After their winning streak, the Indians were extremely confident in crushing the people of Country H to the ground.Other than the Longmen’s higher-ups and Flutwell’s prominent figures, there were a lot more journalists and angry mobs on Country H’s side.Bryce, Rhea, Fisher, Damian, Sienna, Colton, Nelson, Ansel, and the others were all here.Harvey’s eyes narrowed when he saw three particular young men.The prince of the Osborne family, Clyde Osborne.The seventh young master of the Bauer family, Harold Bauer.And the young master of the John family, Elliot John.The three were considered th
The woman who looked like upper management was stunned when she heard Harvey called out to her. "Do you want to see our boss?""My, what a show-off," Nelly scoffed at Harvey's pretentiousness. "Do you want to complain against me by speaking to our boss? Xynthia, where did you find this man? Why is he so stupid? Does he think he can settle this by complaining? Is something wrong with his brain?"Not to mention who does he think he is, thinking he can see our boss whenever he wants? If he can see her, I will fall on my knees and call him daddy!"The other female models all covered their mouths and chuckled. To their understanding, what Harvey did was so laughable and childish. Even the lady from upper management mockingly looked at Harvey and said, "Sir, our company headquarters aren't that far. It'll only take three to five minutes to get there."But, do you really think you can see our boss, Ms. Marlee? Not only is she one of the Judds of Wolsing's three daughters, but ordinary peo
After Nelly finished saying what she had to say, several male models walked toward the women. It was obvious that if Xynthia still refused, she would have a fate worse than death. Xynthia's face turned a little pale. While she was already used to all the big scenes and would bring her bodyguards when she had to go somewhere dangerous to film, she did not expect to be in trouble, even in public, like Northsea Park.She was unsure what to say.Xynthia had already stopped talking back to Nelly and looked around, trying to see if she could get any help or escape. Nelly derisively looked at Xynthia when she saw Xynthia's darting eyes. "Stop looking, Xynthia. Judd Entertainment had reserved this entire space. It doesn't matter if it's the staff or the security; they all work for Judd Entertainment."In short, I am the queen bee of this place, and they'll do whatever I tell them to. That's why your fate has already been set."Nelly waved her hand, and the male models moved extremely qui
Just when Harvey was figuring out what was happening from Journi, Nelly and other female models had already surrounded Xynthia.Nelly gave Xynthia the elevator eyes, and the malice was clearly written on her face. "What right do you think you have to join Judd Entertainment's model competition? Look how skinny you are. I'm giving you a chance to keep Mr. Lee company, do you understand? Why won't you listen to me? Will you only give up after I hit your face until it's swollen?"All the other models were angry at Xynthia once they heard what Nelly had to say."That's right, Xynthia. If you don't listen to Nelly, just leave already!""Our circle is not for someone like you who comes from nowhere.""If we let someone like you join our social circle, it will be an embarrassment.""It's all thanks to models like you who came from nowhere that make others look down on our community, thinking that we don't have class."Xynthia frowned a little, but she still slowly replied, "I'm a stude
"It's true that my family doesn't own Judd Entertainment, but without me, Judd Entertainment would have closed years ago," said the tall woman with a sneer. "Don't tell me you have forgotten that I'm Judd Entertainment's advertising department's superstar?"Harvey did not rush forward and simply squinted his eyes, looking at how things unfolded. Journi noticed the change in Harvey and softly said, "The tall woman is indeed the superstar for Judd Entertainment's advertising department. Her name is Nelly Parker. I heard that she's one of the mistresses of Sawyer Judd, the third son of the Judd family."She had suppressed plenty of newbies who could have become big stars in their own right within Judd Entertainment. She would use everything she had to kick a person out whenever her status was threatened to the point that the other person couldn't survive in the entertainment industry anymore."I've heard that female students from Wolsing's Academy of Motion Pictures have been sold to t
Harvey smiled. "You're welcome. Since I'm already treating you as my friend, I will help you deal with these problems to the best of my ability."Journi shot a strange look at Harvey but did not say a word. The atmosphere around them was becoming somewhat awkward. At this time, Harvey's gaze fell upon a small plaza not too far from the café.He saw plenty of filming equipment scattered around while some handsome men and beautiful women were filming something. It looked like there was some kind of event happening there.Journi looked at what Harvey was looking at. Then, as if she remembered something, she pointed at a logo next to the plaza. "Looks like it's an event organized by Judd Entertainment."Harvey saw a figure among the crowd and subconsciously asked, "Judd Entertainment?"Journi nodded. "The entertainment company belonged to the Judd family. Their business mainly involves filming dramas, movies, and advertisements. They're most widely known for their advertising. I heard
Elric was an experienced man. As someone who had survived and thrived in the business world for so long, he knew what Jon meant. Jon had not even done anything, but he already said he had nothing to do with its failure. And he even wanted Elric to sign a declaration.In short, Jon was already boasting when he said he had a 30% chance of success.When the thought crossed his mind, Elric squinted his eyes and took a deep breath. He waved his hand and signaled his secretary to give him a bank draft. Then, he laid it before Jon, saying, "Master Jon, 30% chance is still too low for me, so you don't have to do anything. Please take this 150 thousand dollars as compensation for coming all the way here."Jon smiled and picked up the bank draft, putting it in his pocket without hesitation. Then, he said as if he remembered something, "You're pretty wise in the way of the world, Mr. Elric. Usually, those in our industry won't recommend someone else even if we fail in a task. But seeing that y
"A charlatan?" Elric was shaking. "What do you mean?"Pamela smiled coldly. "That day when he saw me, that little bastard told me I won't live past 40 years old. He made it sound so believable too! In reality, whoever believed him was the real fool. While I'm feeling a little unlucky lately, once Master Jon is here, everything will be solved!"You should kill that charlatan as quickly as possible. I'm getting angry just thinking about him!" said Pamela. The moment she stood up, she suddenly felt her world spinning and instantly collapsed on her bed.Elric shuddered, instinctively wanting to call for the doctors in the health resort. However, Pamela gritted her teeth and said, "Quick, give Master Jon a call. My time is really running short here…"Half an hour later, Elric paced back and forth in the health resort's VIP room with his hands behind his back. Not far away from him was Pamela, who was already lying in bed with her face pale despite how energetic she had been earlier.Sh
"Mr. Stanton, I'm someone who likes to give second chances. However, I won't keep on giving those chances away," Harvey said to Elric as he stood up. Then, he picked up a paper towel from the table and wiped Elric's face."That's why I'm going to give you one final chance. Come see me once you have thought things through. You can choose to either give up and watch me dethrone you as the next chairman, or agree to my demands so that I will withdraw my candidacy. Don't appear in front of me anymore before you think things through. I've been quite busy recently, and I'm not in the mood to waste time with you…"After that, Harvey ignored Elric who wanted to say something and left with his hands behind his back. Elric had only regained his composure some time later, but even then he couldn't stop his eyes from twitching.He wasn't a gangster from the streets, but a truly important figure. He could already tell a lot of things from Mr. Lee's attitude. Harvey's identity was now revealed
"Why you little…!" When Mr. Lee heard Harvey was telling him to kneel, he could feel himself at the boiling point. However, he suddenly saw the badge right in front of him. He was instinctively startled, feeling his vision was covered in red.The others might not know what that thing was, but how could he not know? It was the Longmen Association's Scion Badge!Which also meant that the young man in front of him was the scion of the Longmen Association!The moment Mr. Lee realized it, he didn't hesitate and instantly kneeled on the floor with a thump. Blood instantly splattered the moment his knees hit the ground. He didn't even scream despite the pain, and he didn't even channel his energy to resist the pain.He kneeled there with his back straight like a child who had committed a grave crime, shuddering.Elric's expression turned blank. Even someone who had traveled far and wide like him didn't understand what had happened. A second ago, Mr. Lee was still yelling at Harve
